"Operation Trust Me" Pays Off

Four years after the IRS launched Operation Trust Me, the Chesterton, IN Tribune reports, six men have been convicted by a federal jury in connection with a $60-million tax fraud.

"According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, all six were associated with The Aegis Company, which for a decade sold sham domestic and foreign trusts for the purpose of diverting and hiding client’s taxable income, resulting in a $60 million tax loss to the U.S., in one of the largest cases of its kind."
